Gov. Rick Scott spoke Thursday morning in Orange County and said he isn't too troubled by the delays in the counts.

"The supervisor of elections tried to make sure of the numbers we put out. What we want to make sure is the numbers in our state is that the numbers are accurate and that's what they're doing," said Scott.

The long lines and late election night are a point of contention for many and ammunition for groups that felt Scott should have extended early voting after he'd cut the days almost in half since the last presidential election.

Scott said if he had to do it over again he would make the same decision. "Oh, the right thing happened. Almost 4.4 million people came out and voted either absentee or early voting. We had a big election day, people came out, polling booths were open. We did the right thing, people got out there and went out to vote which is exactly what they should do and I think that is one of the greatest things of America," said Scott.

A record turn out of over 70 percent has left counties like Miami-Dade and Broward counties scrambling to finish tallying ballots.

Part of the issue seems to involve the number of places people had to vote. Scott said the state had 20 times the number of polling places than last time.

In central Florida, there were a lot more polling locations but not 20 times.

Elections supervisors said the law on provisional ballots created delays. Ballots with signature issues or kicked out by machines have to sit for 48 hours until they're included and with the race for president so close it's holding up the numbers.
